Friar Gate Conservation Area Friar Gate Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan October 2012 www.derby.gov.uk Friar Gate Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan Document status Section 71 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 places a statutory duty on a local planning authority “from time to time to formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of any parts of their area which are conservation areas.” The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that “when considering the designation of conservation areas, local planning authorities should ensure that an area justifies such status because of its special architectural or historic interest”. This document presents a Conservation Area Appraisal for the Friar Gate Conservation Area. The approach to appraisal closely follows that recommended by English Heritage in ‘Guidance on Conservation Area Appraisals’ (February 2006). It has been prepared as part of the work towards the new Local Development Framework (LDF). Other actions relating to the Conservation Area and forming part of the management strategy and proposals for the Conservation Area should be taken forward separately, as resources allow. This report has been prepared on behalf of Derby City Council by the Conservation Studio and amended by the City’s Conservation Officers.

Site of former medieval market place at a widening of the road in the western end of Friar Gate now landscaped with stone paving, a tree and the (re-located) medieval Headless Cross; Prevalent use of local red brick, stucco and stone with slate or clay tile roof covering; An area containing many buildings of architectural and historic interest, a high proportion of which are listed buildings and many others which make a positive contribution to the area’s historic character and appearance; October 2012 5 Friar Gate Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan Key buildings: St Werburgh’s Church, Friar Gate Railway Bridge, Pickford’s House, Vernon Street County Gaol and six grade II* buildings of “particularly great importance to the nation’s built heritage”; A short length of Markeaton Brook, a tributary of the River Derwent, formerly a source of water for the medieval Friary and the site of water-powered mills; Tree-lined and grassed open space in South Street, formerly known as The Crescent, that provides a green foil to the austerity of the stone façade of the former Vernon Street County Gaol; Exceptionally wide pavement on the south side of Friar Gate enhanced with mature roadside London plane trees; Significant trees in the grounds of St Werburgh’s Church and notable specimen trees in private rear ‘gardens’; No. 93 Friar Gate is one of the few stone ashlar-faced buildings in Friar Gate. The downward fall in the road is as a result of the need to pass beneath the railway line October 2012 6 Friar Gate Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan 1. INTRODUCTION A conservation area is an area of special architectural or historic interest which is desirable to preserve or enhance. These areas are designated by the Local Planning Authority. Conservation area appraisals are an assessment of the features which give an area its own special character. Identification of these special qualities, within an area, is essential so that the Local Planning Authority can preserve or enhance them and carry out their planning functions. Designation of a conservation area draws peoples’ attention to the area’s architectural and historic interest and emphasises the need for any changes or new development, either within or adjoining the area, to be sympathetic to and respect its character. Nineteenth century iron railings add to the area’s special historic interest – Ashgate School in Ashbourne Road (left) and St. John’s Terrace (right). Derby is a city of considerable historic interest and architectural merit with a range of streets and buildings spanning many centuries. The City Council has designated sixteen conservation areas. The City Centre, Green Lane and St Peters and Friar Gate Conservation Areas are at the heart of the City Centre. Seven are based on aspects of Victorian Derby (Railway, Arboretum, Little Chester, Strutt's Park, Hartington Street, Highfield Cottages, and Nottingham Road). One is based on an exceptional mid twentieth century charity housing estate (Leyland’s Estate). The remaining five are focused on former village centres (Darley Abbey, Mickleover, Spondon, Allestree and Markeaton). The Friar Gate Conservation Area was Derby’s first conservation area. It was designated in September 1969 and extended several times, most recently in October 1987. The primary focus of the conservation area is historic development on either side of an ancient east-west route (Friar Gate and Ashbourne Road) leading out of Derby City Centre, most notable for its Georgian buildings and roadside trees, together with a planned early 19th century development (Vernon Street and County Gaol). This assessment of the character and appearance of the Conservation Area relates to the Conservation Area as defined at the time of carrying out this appraisal, and not to any possible future extensions. It follows the relevant guidance as set out by the English Heritage paper Guidance on Conservation Area Appraisals (February 2006). October 2012 7 Friar Gate Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan This draft report was prepared by the Conservation Studio, a specialized planning and architectural practice (www.theconservationstudio.co.uk). The area was first surveyed and photographed in the autumn of 2007 and revisited and updated in February 2011 and revised in October 2012. To be concise and readable, the appraisal does not record all features of interest. The omission of a particular building, feature or space should not be taken to imply that it is of no interest. Delicate cast iron ornament in the spandrel of the Friar Gate Bridge (1876) Friar Gate Railway Bridge stops the eastward view along Friar Gate.

  • Derby's Locally Listed Buildings
    City of Derby City of Derby Local List Local List CITY OF DERBY Introduction This list identifies buildings and other structures within Derby which are considered to have some local importance, either from an architectural or historic viewpoint. The list has been revised from the previously published list of 1993, following a public consultation period in 2007. Along with the review of the existing list, people were also invited to nominate new buildings for inclusion on the revised list. The new list was approved by Council Cabinet in July 2010 and is organised in alphabetical order by ward. None of the buildings or structures are included in Derby’s Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. Some may, in the future, be considered worthy of national listing. The local list seeks to include buildings which are of merit in their own right, those which are worthy of group value in the street scene and any other feature which is considered to be worthy of conservation because it makes a positive contribution to the local environment. The list contains examples of different architectural styles from many periods, including those of relatively recent origins. It does not include locally important buildings that are located within any of the 15 conservation areas in Derby, as these buildings are afforded greater protection through the planning control process. The value of publishing a local list is that a watching brief can be kept on these buildings or structures and they can be taken into account in the town planning process. Inclusion in the list, however, does not afford any additional statutory protection or grant aid, but it is the Council’s intention that every reasonable effort will be made to conserve those buildings and structures of local importance to benefit the city as a whole.

The author is pleased to be informed of errors and omissions, alternative interpretations of the early families, additional information for consideration for future updates. She can be contacted at [email protected] DATES • Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.

    Maxwell Craven, ‘‘‘Fit To Honour The First Orders Of Nobility”: St Helen’s House, Derby’, The Georgian Group Journal, Vol. XVII, 2009, pp. 77–94 TEXT © THE AUTHORS 2009 ‘FIT TO HONOUR THE FIRST ORDERS OF NOBILITY’: ST HELEN’S HOUSE, DERBY MAXWELL CRAVEN t Helen’s House (Fig. ) is the largest and most Simportant surviving domestic building in Derby: a magnificent Palladian mansion with a monumental ashlar façade of faultless proportions. Unfortunately, it is not on the itinerary of the average tourist, nor has it ever been promoted by its successive local authority owners, for over a century the Corporation of Derby and, for disastrous years, the Derbyshire County Council. Indeed, this superb and rare survival, one of only seven Grade I listed buildings in the city, has been grievously neglected for many years and has been on English Heritage’s Buildings at risk register for a decade. It is a particularly precious survival because it is one of the few surviving purpose-built Georgian gentleman’s town houses of this size and quality outside London. Bigger and more impressive than Fairfax House at York, there are few to compare with it today. A town house may be defined as a residence purpose-built by a country landowner for occasional use when visiting the capital or his local town or city. The reasons why an eighteenth-century gentleman or nobleman needed to stay in town are numerous, chief amongst them business, for those who were brought up to believe that the British upper classes never soiled their hands with trade are largely mistaken.

  • An Archaeological Resource Assessment of Roman Derbyshire
    East Midlands Archaeological Research Framework: Resource Assessment of Roman Derbyshire An Archaeological Resource Assessment of Roman Derbyshire Andrew Myers - Derbyshire Sites and Monuments Records Officer Note: For copyright reasons the figures are currently omitted from the web version of this paper. It is hoped to include them in future versions. Geology and Topography Derbyshire's landscape encompasses dramatic variations in geology, geomorphology and soil types. In the north lie the uplands formed by gritstones in the district of High Peak, and the dissected Carboniferous limestone of the southern High Peak and Derbyshire Dales. The latter is flanked on its eastern side by the gritstone outliers of the East Moors and Stanton Moor. In the north east, the Magnesian limestone of Bolsover district forms a narrow north- south ridge of higher ground. Sandwiched between the gritstone East Moors and the Magnesian limestone lie the complex, lower lying coal measures, running from the South Yorkshire border southwards through North East Derbyshire, Chesterfield, Amber Valley and Erewash. Here they give way to the Triassic marls and loams of South Derbyshire and the Trent Valley, Derby district and the southernmost parts of Derbyshire Dales. The SMR: Distribution of Records The Roman period accounts for 10.7% of total SMR records. The distribution of Roman records within Derbyshire reveals something of the same quantitative bias for the uplands of Derbyshire Dales which has been noted previously for the various prehistoric periods. Derbyshire Dales, which comprises 30.3% of Derbyshire's surface area, accounts for 41.6% of all Roman records. In contrast, North East and South Derbyshire comprise 10.5% and 12.9% of Derbyshire's surface area, but only have 3.2% and 2.6% of Roman records respectively.
